We just visited with Neil. He continues to respond well to the ventilator setting. It remains at 35 PEEP and 65% oxygen. His blood pressure is within normal range. He had medication a couple of hours ago. When I asked a few questions the sweet nurse took the opportunity to "ground" me again. This is when the nurse tells me how sick Neil is and he remains in very critical condition. However, she agreed that we can celebrate today. As I understand it, Neil needs several days like this with no "event". So, I am saying this has been a very good day for Neil. There has been no back track for Neil and that is a big step forward. The other step forward includes bringing the oxygen percentage down and Neil has gotten some fabulous rest! Please continue to pray for Neil's lungs. Remember Sue, Sam, Fred, Scott in your prayers.
(Please do not be alarmed if there is no post first thing in the morning. If the nurses are in "report" there may be no information. Will certainly update as soon as possible after the 10 am visit.)
